Australia’s tax office revokes six APAs

The Australian tax office (ATO) has revoked six advance pricing agreements (APAs) with multinationals within the last six months because the government had been misled and the companies were engaging in aggressive tax planning, reports Nassim Khadem of the Brisbane Times in a November 7 report, quoting ATO deputy commissioner, Mark Konza. Konza also said the ATO is reviewing the activities of 80 high risk multinationals. See,  Brisbane Times.
